It has gone by many names over the years. It has been led by different leaders, each with their own way of achieving a uninaimous goal. An equation that from multiple variables, and differing tangents, link to the same outcome; to protect the world, and keep chaos at bay. While this recalling cannot trace back all origin points, it can provide a light on what you will be reading in the future, a forward, so to speak. I cannot claim to tell you I know all the details, but there is much history not written in books or scripture that is revealed to the world. Afterall, History is decided by the victor, and perhaps to our benefit, it should remain that way. This is classified documentation, and should you have been given this information by one of our contacts, or just happened to stumble upon this, we will know if there is a leak, and we are quite good at patching up holes.

Let this be your only warning. turn back now, or let your curiousity guide you. And your will to keep a secret be strong enough, should you choose not to follow further intruction once you finish this.

History can recall many points in history to what we do. Hunters, defenders, champions of light, the flavor text is unimportant. What is important, is the truth. The earliest jumping point for what we have become stems from the Dark Ages, a truly dreadful time for Humanity. Plauge, war, political uncertainty, all play a factor, but perhaps it would of been made worse, if not for those of the Templar Order. A secretive society, one which exists to this day, perhaps hidden away from public eye, but what they dealt with would prove the reason why.

The Supernatural, The Paranormal, things that go bump in the night, it was a hayday for those of these dispositions. Magic weaved, for better or worse, and truly terrifying creatures that always exist, but remain excellent at remaining an enigma to the outside world, until they require innocent bystanders for nefarious purposes. They might of had a chance to truly destroy Humanity during this moment of weakness for Humanity, if they did not have a foe themselves, an Order who's name you've surely heard, but perhaps would never notice their influence in your day to day life.

The Templars, perhaps you heard of their more noteworthy accomplishments. Warriors to God, crusaders of the Holy Word, what have you. But, there were many sects within that name, you've only been shown the face value of what they have truly dealt with. Our story begins with one of these sects, one that made a worthwhile sacrifice to Humanity to continue its existence. They were known as the Order of the Scythe, the Templar's elite force to handle the Supernatural threat that plauged their land.

Not much detail was known about what they were capable of, nor how many members existed within this sect, but they were lead by a man known as Edward Hemlock. Time withers knowledge, and not much is known about him, or what events lead him down the path that brings us to today, but if not for his actions, the world might be a completely different place.

The Templars discovered something. A monster, hidden low within the dirt, as if hidden away by something long ago. Words cannot describe it, and what text that exist of it, only refer to it as the Demon. And the Templars wanted it. Their reason? To bring about a second Eden, a utopia befitting for what they wished to see. But the Order knew better. Through knowledge, and translations of a long dead language, they knew this monster only knew destruction. Commander Hemlock had to act, but at the cost of treason and herecy to the Templar Order itself. And it was a risk that should of been written in history.

Not much of the battle itself was documented. Whether or not this was because not enough of the Order survived to record this event, or because the Templars attempted to snuff out anything referencing the Order itself, is unknown. But, the Demon was 'killed'. The emphasis on that, is because even to this day, the thing isn't exactly dead. Rather, its body was segmented, and the Order ensured the Templars would have a difficult time finding this parts by spreading them about the Globe. Of course, greed and pride are dangerous sins, and persistence saw the Templars scowering the lands to find them.

But, years began to move on, the Order slowly died away from natural occurances, as well as occupational hazards, but their legacy continued on. There were many that took up their cause, too many to name here. So for now, I'll only be referencing any organization that contributed to what we do today. For better or worse.

The Undertakers:
	Time of Activity: 1870-1910
	Notable Members:
	Intel: What started as a team of Marshalls during the early years of the West, the Undertakers were notable for the discovery of the location for one of the pieces of the Demon, perhaps the most important one, the Head. Located within one of of the various cave systems uncharted within the Nevada desert, it would serve as the future location of our organization. During their time of service, they served as the protection for most settlements in the West from the Supernatual, using aliases to hide their identity. As the years of the Wild West slowed to a close, the remaining members ensured that the Head's location remained a mystery, and sealed it off for the foreseeable future, before being liquidated and scattered.

Blackgate:
	Time of Activity: 1912-1975
	Notable Members:
	Intel: One of the few cases where the origin of the company is funded from the government, Blackgate was established when rising tensions of the
